Many time had passed Fran within the hospital room, she had nightmares about the place she escaped thanks at the shadows that accompanied her since the beginning. She felt lost, stranded and without no one in who trust entirely without feeling the doctors behind ready to gag and drug her. Just to experiment with her,
It was a real fortune she was picked by professor Kazuaki that night, and taken into the hospital where she was treated as a patient. She spent many days on bed until she had the enough strengths to walk on her own. Her shadows had been with her all the time, as Mr. Midnight. She sighed many times while looked the door of the hospital. The temptation to walk off at the hallways and see what lies behind.
Tadachi is a kind boy to talk around...but it was not enough... not the periodic visit of some teacher within the place. She took a deep breath as reached the knob of the door, turn it to open the wooden panel. Showing the hallway at the other side... she walked little towards it, her shadows were behind all the time. Ready to pounce on anything that might harm the little girl. But the most active was the cat shadow.
”What lies through here?” She asked
“Worry not, Fran. We are here all the time. You can count with us. We shall protect you from the men and women who caused pain” Mr. Midnight said at her while walk aside her.
And the small girl, with a deep courage attempt sigh, walked through the hallway before her eyes.

Seven walked through the halls of the academy, silent as always as he carried only a notepad, pen, and a flashlight that the red deer man had gotten him upon request. The dreaded days of the Maw still haunted him to the point that he thought anything could jump at him if he weren't cautious. Yes, the new adults that he had seen weren't gigantic, distorted, nor bloated beings. But he couldn't be too sure. If this was a place of safety like the headmistress claimed, he would have to find that out himself. So he explored, looking in most of the rooms he came across. He was walking down the hallway when he suddenly stopped. He sensed something. Something dark.

Fran walked at the hallways with so much fear around what she could find once she goes through a corner. She knew there is nothing to be afraid or nothing to be bothered about. These are not the hallways of Oswald Asylum. Where the security guards and the nurses kept eye on the children around or keeping those under extreme measures. She walked around. Until one the shadows noticed something.
Fran, Stop!
The girl stopped her movements as she tried to look what lies behind the corners ahead. Before her there was nothing. But that sudden reaction of her shadow alerted her. The shadow looked a big blob with dropping eyes yet a big mouth with teeth around. She wanted to speak to know who might be there.
State your business, stranger!!
The blob roared at the one who might be around. The one the shadow sensed.

Hearing that roar, the boy immediately fell to the ground with a startled gasp and froze. He knew it. This was the Maw all over again. He was going to wake up in a cage or in the mouth of some foul giant. He...
No... that's not it. He shouldn't jump to conclusions like that. Arcane was a whole new playing field to him with probably different rules and monsters. Although he felt well-equipped with outsmarting a monster, it may not work here. It was best to get a better understanding of the situation before acting upon it.
He grunted as he tried to get up. He doubt that nonverbal communication would work considering whatever was nearby couldn't read words or hands. Yet, he rarely used his voice. There was no need to do so in the Maw. Perhaps he had no voice left. Still, it was the best option.
"... I-I-I-I'm juuuust wa-wa-walking!" His voice was a bit hoarse, frail, and forced. He'd prefer whispering when necessary. "I-I-I c-could leave if-if-if you want!"

“Wait, do not harm him” Fran ordered the shadow before her to not attack. The shadow didn’t flinched but obey the girl demands. It was a great time since she was being in danger. But she felt no danger on the one talking, she sighed before walk to find the one who was speaking. While bing accompanied by the blob shadow and her shadow cat. The girl approached the corner to see her right and then, her left.
She looked on the one behind. ”Oh, my... did I scare you? I didn’t wanted to do it” she said with innocence yet worried voice. As look at him with light confusion.

Seven expected something related to the giant she-demon he encountered. He expected a monster hidden in shadows. But he didn’t expect a blob creature, a cat, and a little girl. His beating heart slowed down.
Upon seeing the girl, he blurted out. “S-Six?” Wait. This wasn’t six. Six was still lost at sea perhaps. This girl didn’t have a rain coat or this kind of power. Maybe.
After hearing the girl, Seven cleared his throat and sat up, calming down.
“It’s okay. I’m used to it by now. Sorry I scared you or... your friends?” He guessed based on the blob’s outburst. Seven’s voice was soft, but just above a loud whisper so the other could hear. “I was just exploring... I never... been to a school... before...”

“Six? It is some kind of number students have to wear around?” Fran was confused when the little boy responds at her “Six... Six...” she got in doubt with that number in her head. “Hmm, Perhaps is a secret code. But what for?”
Apologies about the sudden racket, Fran still around the place we were brought. And to be honest, I don’t think you be a problem to us
You don’t look as one of those medics that treated Fran poorly. But, I’ll keep my eyes on you
The cat and the blob said their own ways, the blob turned again into part of Fran’s main shadow. As she kept thinking but she then listen to him. “So, you are one of the new students I heard about? That’s great. I hadn’t seen many around the school lately” she spoke “Oh, apologies. My name is Fran Dagenhart Bow. But call me just Fran: and he is Mr. Midnight” she presented the cat at her side. As it makes a small bow at the boy.

“Sorry... Six was a girl I met before I...” Seven started to explain when he stopped and shook his head. Should he say something about the Maw exactly? Probably not yet. At least not all the details. He blinked underneath his bangs hearing the shadows and the cat speak, not knowing if to be intrigued, confused, insulted, or all three. Although this was new and weird, it beat the silence and dread he was used to.
“You remind me... of her. We got lost ..... at sea. I end up here on the beach. I... don’t know my name. I was given the name Seven. And I’m new here, yes. Hello Fran. Mr. Midnight.” He gave a soft smile. Even with the intimidating shadows, he felt comfortable around these two.
After a moment of silence, he apologized. “Sorry... n-not used to speaking... out loud. I speak in words, pictures and hands. I’m always quiet... it’s strange. Good kind of strange. I have not seen all of the school either... if you want, maybe we can see the school together...?”

Fran looked at the small boy with such curiosity, as he looked quite strange with the clothing he has. Like he escaped from some place Long time ago. She expected he was one of the boys or someone from a dreadful place. She didn’t want to talk about it as she had the fears in trigger something negative instead. The girl just made a small happy expression on her face while tilt soft her head left to see the boy.
”Oh! So you are one of the new students that are arriving today? It is so good!” She mentioned with a small giggle. By closing her eyes briefly.
”What are you seeking in this school, Seven? Or what did you want to study in this place?” She asked while the cat goes around him, by inspect he is no treat but purring as a cat might do for a nice caress.

Seven smiled more at this. He wasn't certain of most things, but he seemed definitely certain that Fran was nice. Perhaps he can open up about himself slowly. He did not mind this strange distraction from his fears and memories. Upon being asked what he wanted to study, he tilted his head in confusion. What did he want to learn? What did he want to seek exactly? Now that he was "free", or at least more free than he was at the Maw, he didn't know what to do with it.
"I... haven't really thought about it." He admitted honestly, bending down a bit and smiling at the cat, then he looked back at Fran. "When you are in a ship most of your life, you don't think about things to study." He left it at that for now, but added.
"I guess... I would like to read more. I like animals and different types of creatures, so maybe I can learn of any new types. I do not have any powers... perhaps I could discover one of my own if I try." Then he wouldn't be a burden to other magic users likes Six or Fran.
"What... about you? What do you seek here?" He asked out of curiosity.

“That’s....” she looked around as trying to avoid the question Seven did on her, she would like to put those memories away from her memory, but she didn’t wanted to say something rude at him. She stayed there while closed her eyes to think about something else. “...well, I used to be some kind stranded and I end here for protection...” she said at him.
”But, the rest is too blurry. I barely remember how I arrived here” she said “the only thing I do remember is having my shadows and Mr. Midnight”
However, she tries to go easy on her past she remembers so good. But, she didn’t want to make everybody around treat her as royalty or someone important. “But, the professor of mathematics is taking care of me” she smiles widely. Mr. Midnight didn’t say something but he looked on her as she didn’t need to lie to avoid the question.

She looked on Seven again as she thought he was confused by all the information (or part of it) about her past. She looked on him as another boy she used to see in the asylum once. He looked quite handsome, a bit frightened by the sudden with her shadows. But she doesn't blame her. She would eek'ed too if she encounter something like that crawling around the hallways of the Academy. That would be a real terror to confront like some kind of security manifestation using shadows.
"Don't worry, my shadows just protect me with those who used to do harm on me. I was too little when that happened, so they trust little..." she said at Seven with a small sad frown; while Mr. Midnight was tagging along. "...but I started to get much open since what happened those days. Now, it feels different. Like freedom... If you know what I am saying"

Fran walked around the corners of the school, she was curious about the whole return to classes, she thought in find new students and others who might never left behind. She had really doubts if she was safe where she is now. But with the professors around, she felt secure. There was no experiments from that twisted man who used her as guinea pig with pills that make her ill. And she had really doubts in someday cross paths with her aunt... It was a nightmare that really haunts her. She didn't want to remember her. No matter how many time had passed. She didnt' forgive what she did on her all the time.
As she thought in that, some shadows popped from her main to accompany her as loyal dogs. They guarded the girl as she kept walking around the corners of the school. By eyes of others, she might look as someone want not to mess with. However, she didn't want to harm no one. But she feels unsecure about all what she had lived.
